Take action to protect the health of Lake Monomonac
Who We Are
The MLPOA is an all-volunteer, non-profit organization dedicated to the health and preservation of Lake Monomonac in Rindge, NH. Please join us as we strive to mitigate potential pollution in our lake and surrounding watershed.
Watershed Management Plan
The most comprehensive study ever undertaken of Lake Monomonac is helping us better understand the lake’s challenges, identify practical solutions, and chart a course for its long-term protection.
Join Us
Help us protect our beautiful lake by joining the Monomonac Lake Property Owners Association. Maintaining and growing our membership is essential to protecting the health of the lake and preserving it for future generations. By becoming a member, you’ll stay informed about the work being done to protect the lake and be given opportunities to help support these efforts. MLPOA is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, so your membership dues are tax deductible.
Share Your Talents. Strengthen Our Lake.
A healthy Lake Monomonac benefits us all. Protecting it takes people with different talents working together.
Over the next several years, the MLPOA will implement our Watershed Management Plan by expanding LakeSmart, completing watershed projects, securing grant funding, and strengthening community education. It’s an exciting effort—and one that requires more volunteers with a variety of skills.
That’s why we’re inviting community members to get involved by serving on our Board or joining our new volunteer network, Friends of the Lake.
Whether you have a few hours each month or want to take on a larger role, we’d love to match your interests and skills with meaningful opportunities.
LakeSmart
LakeSmart is a free, non-regulatory, voluntary education and recognition program offered by NH LAKES. The goal of LakeSmart is to encourage property owners to maintain their home and property in ways that protect lake water quality, wildlife habitat and property values while enjoying their time at the lake.
